Frame (border) of windows in windows 10 and server 2016+

Probably I'm not the only one who faced the problem of lack of window borders in new windows systems, because for some reason they were removed with one of the updates. Many people ask, but there is no definite answer anywhere. It is easy to cope with this unexpected nuisance by changing the system settings with your hands, but what if it is a terminal server and there are many users? By default, users are exposed to the best performance, which turns off shadows, in addition, by default, window borders are disabled in the system, which leads to complete merging of windows with each other, as a result, it is impossible to distinguish where one window ends and another window begins. When I decided to centrally solve this problem for all users, it turned out that finding a solution was not so easy, since there is not a single answer on the Internet that gives a definite solution. As a result, having shoveled all RU and EN segments of the network,after trying different options, I solved the problem. If you are worried about the same problem, please, under cat.





I will not grovel, a couple of pictures are enough to make it clear what needs to be done for a centralized solution within the domain. I am writing this article rather as a memo, what if it will come in handy myself?





So, you have a situation like in the picture above. Your path lies in the GPO editor, where you need to make manipulations, according to the following picture:





Key Path





Value name





Type

Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ DWM





EnableWindowColorization





REG_DWORD





one





Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ DWM

REG_DWORD





one





After adding these changes, a reboot is required. Once logged in, frames and standard system colors will appear:





In general, that's all, you have successfully got rid of the framelessness and small, very strange "feature".
